GCSE Spanish Booklet Course
The GCSE Spanish Booklet course covers the core grammar and vocabulary for the new GCSE, and is built to work for both AQA and Edexcel students: the language content follows the shared GCSE curriculum.
Each unit also includes exam-style practice tasks to build exam technique as you go. These aren't tied to a single board, they draw on task types from across the exam boards, so treat them as general practice rather than board-specific mock questions.

Structure of the course:
Each booklet is available in two formats:
Student booklet (18£) – ideal for classroom use or independent learning.
Student booklet + teacher presentation (25£) – perfect for classroom teaching, with ready-to-use presentations to accompany each unit.
Each booklet is organised into 5–6 units, with each unit spanning 4–5 lessons — giving you roughly 10–12 weeks of ready-made teaching. This pacing isn't arbitrary: research shows vocabulary needs repeated exposure to be retained, so each unit gives students time to meet new language, build confidence recognising it, and only then produce it independently in speaking, writing, and translation tasks.
Every single unit follows the same structure:
Vocabulary — 30 key words with a QR code linking to Quizlet
Reading practice (3 tasks) + Vocab Checkpoint 1
Listening practice (3 tasks) + Vocab Checkpoint 2
Grammar — grammar point + 3 practice tasks
Speaking practice
Writing practice
Translation practice
AI extension task
Final Brain Dump — 2-minute vocab recall
Answers — including full listening transcripts
✓ Quizlet links ready to use
✓ Audio tracks (high quality AI-generated) ready to stream
